Dog Days of Summer in Sioux Falls

The Dog Days of Summer

Here we are in the thick of summer. Droplets of sweat form on our brows like condensation on a cold glass of iced tea. Our kids perch in front of oscillating fans to numb thoughts of impending school days. And our dogs lay spread eagle on shady cool grass.

Despite the heated discourse in Washington and searing concerns over the country's deficit and credit worthiness, house sales in Sioux Falls have been slightly higher than this period last year. I'm guessing, based on our pending sales numbers that this will continue through the rest of this quarter.

 

The immediate result of our S&P down-grade to AA+ will be stock market lows and peaks. But more importantly to our real estate market, it is estimated to bring yet another temporary dip in interest rates.

Both situations are ripe for opportunity. Long term investors and those who believe in home ownership will take advantage of the cheap money to reach their big picture goals.

It's like my dogs, they take advantage of the hot sun to warm their tummies and the dewy lawn to cool their backs. They seem to understand that every situation has multiple opportunities. Many people will be wise and do the same and see this time as the right time to invest for the future.

Kick back, cool down, unleash your dreams and enjoy the sunshine! Consider whether now is a good time for you to sell and/or buy some real estate.  Sioux Falls is ready when you are and so am I. Call, text or email me anytime.

Rule of 3 and Open House On Demand!

open house on demand?

I have a rule of three. If my brain takes note at least 3 times on something interesting I've seen, heard or dreamt, I scribble out a plan.

Last weekend, I was doing the proverbial Sunday Open House from 1pm to 2pm.  And In walks a person I've seen at this same house, same open day/time about a month prior.  I said, "Hey! Long time no see! Came to look again?" The young lady responded, "YES! I've been waiting for you to do another open house on this place."

HUH? I thought. Brain spark.

"Well, you still have my card from last time?" I asked.  "Yep!" She said. "Then, why didn't you just call me then?! I can show it to you any time!"

She said that she didn't want to put me out by calling and scheduling a showing. She said she'd just prefer to stop by when the house had a scheduled open.

It is then that I thought to myself, This is like the third time someone has said they didn't want to bother anyone, and just want to see the house during an open. Third time.....third....time....THIRD TIME! stop.....Rule of 3.....make a note to self.

So now it's Monday. I've got to put in ads for the next weekend. Gotta schedule open houses. I have 9 great listings, limited time and can't possibly do opens for ALL of them in the same weekend.  But people are waiting to see these homes! Then it hits me.

I'll do OPEN HOUSES ON DEMAND. I can have a bunch of listings available to show for a vast space of time BOTH Saturday and Sunday!!  All I have to do is make signs that say "Open House on Demand! Call on the fly or schedule a time between 11am and 6pm you'd like to see this home!"

Hmmm...Open House On Demand? Yeah, I know its weird. Probably a bit clumsy and confusing at this point. But I think this just might work. 

I'm putting my internal self-editor on hold. I'm choosing to let that brain spark ignite and fire away. I'm gonna trust my rule of 3. I might stumble, but then I'll skip and eventually I'm going to hone this puppy down.

Let's see how this goes!! Wish me luck!  Heck, you can always set your own open house on demand and let me know what you think!  Saturdays or Sundays between the hours of 11am and 6pm!
